Über dieses E-Book

Das persische Versepos des Dichterfürsten Farud Du-Din Attar aus dem 12. Jahrhundert erzählt eine poetische und religionsphilosophische Geschichte: Unter dem Vorsitz des Wiedehopfs - der auch im Koran und in Goethes "Westöstlichem Divan" vorkommt - entschließt sich die Versammlung der Vögel, ihren legendären König, den Wundervogel Simurgh, im Qaf-Gebirge aufzusuchen. Auf der beschwerlichen Reise durch das Tal der Suche, der Liebe, der Erkenntnis, der Unabhängigkeit, der Einheit, des Erstaunens und des Todes - alle sieben Stadien des Sufi-Einweihungspfades -, mit vielen Gesprächen und eingestreuten religiösen, subtilen und kuriosen Geschichten, Märchen, Anekdoten, Gleichnissen, in denen Dschinne, Derwische, Scheiche, aber auch Jesus und Sokrates vorkommen, gehen Tausende von ihnen zugrunde. Doch für die Überlebenden hat sich die Mühe gelohnt: Sie erreichen die höchste Stufe der Vollkommenheit und erkennen sich selbst. "Gläubige und Ungläubige sind gleichermaßen in Blut getauchtund haben sich verirrt. Mir schwindelt. Ich bin nicht ohneHoffnung, aber voller Ungeduld."

    I was drawn to this book first because I noticed Peter Sis was the illustrator and second because the title reminded me of another book by the Grimm's (I think) called The Battle of The Birds. I read it and

    So... It's kind of hard to give this only three stars because it's such a classic. But much of this was a resounding, "Meh," for me.

    Granted, it's all themes and genres I'm not drawn to: mysticism, religion, epic poetry, lots of slavery and other (now) anachronistic morality, and over-wrought love imagery: -3. But it does capture a certain world view (and a certain historical and cultural place), so 1. It's a world classic, so for better or worse: 2. Certain passages were really lyrical, rhythmic, etc. (big nod to the translators): 2, maybe 3 (I'll round up.)

    These poems about, the birds of the world gather to decide who is to be their king, as they have none. The hoopoe, the wisest of them all, suggests that they should find the legendary Simorgh, a mythical persian bird roughly equivalent to the western phoenix. It is an allegory of the quest for God (The Simorgh). The hoopoe respresents a sufi master and each of the other birds represents a human fault which prevents man from attaining enlightenment. When the group of thirty birds finally reach the dwelling place of the Simorgh, all they find is a lake in which they see their own reflection.

    The writings of the Sufis are, without a doubt, some of the most beautiful and challenging spiritual works in existence. Rumi's works are currently undergoing something of a renaissance in the Western world but the name of Farid Ud-Din Attar is not as well known. This is unfortunate, since The Conference of the Birds provides, in my opinion, a much better insight into Sufi philosophy than the bits and pieces of Rumi floating about the New Age universe.Attar's beautiful descriptions, exquisite metaphors and delightful parables describe the stages on the soul's journey to union with God. An extended metaphor for the soul, the birds gather and travel through various valleys to reach the Simorgh - a state of ecstatic oneness with deity. The Hoopoe acts as the guide and provides answers to the bird's questions and doubts about the journey - usually with short illustrative tales. These tales are each tiny drops of gold, the longest being only a few hundred lines. The overarching theme is the denial of the self to gain ultimate bliss. This is no intellectual exercise and much of the advice given is shocking and revolutionary. In the extended tale of Sheik Sam'an, the Sheik leaves his faith and becomes a Christian for the love of a woman who ultimately spurns him. His apostasy and depravity astound his followers who swiftly abandon him. A Sufi teacher chastises them for their lack of faith and eventually they return to his side. Sam'an then reconverts and his love is converted too. The message would seem to be that to find God it may be necessary to abandon conventional notions of behaviour and faith and plunge forward with wild abandon, losing the self. Some of the stories may shock our sensibilities, and no doubt had the same effect on Attar's medieval audiences. A kind of counter-culture attitude is displayed in the book, with tales of romantic love between men and other "un-Islamic" behaviours challenging accepted norms.As to the book itself, the translation is done in "heroic couplets" which according to the introduction, best suits the style of the arabic original. It at first seems a little stilted but soon lends a beauty of its own to the work. A fairly substantial introduction helps put the book in context and describes what is known of Attar's life and times. A biographical index is included which provides details on the many characters - often historical - who people the pages of the poem. This book is a beautiful little gem, filled with a lot of wisdom. It is definitely worth the read for members of any faith, even those who aren't practicing Sufis.

    This remarkedly long poem was composed in Iran around 1150 AD. It is a metaphor for the challenges the soul faces into seeking unity with God. The birds set out on a quest to meet their king, the Simorgh bird. I found the poem rambling with too many parables from history and culture of the day. It certainly didn't have the dramatic focus of Homer.
